WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration is ending protections that shielded roughly 350,000 Venezuelans from deportation, leaving them with two months before they lose their right to work in the U.S.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s order affects 348,202 Venezuelans living in the U.S. with Temporary Protected Status slated to expire in April. That’s about half of the approximately 600,000 who have the protection. The remaining protections are set to expire at the end of September.

The termination notice will be published Wednesday and go into effect 60 days later.
 
It’s among the latest Trump administration actions targeting the immigration system, as officials work to make good on promises of cracking down on people illegally living in the country and to carry out the largest mass deportation effort in U.S. history.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Tossing out the Venezuelan gang members should be top priority: they are evil, ruthless and violent.  I'm not sure ending protections against deportations for ordinary folks who fled the Communist government there is a good thing (the Venezuelan government is kind of like the Venezuelan gangs, maybe a little less ruthless, but evil and violent for sure).

And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

I agree with this. Some of the Venezuelans are probably the most deserving of sanctuary. I just have a problem who should be eligible. I don't know how we separate the gangs from the regular targeted people.
